How will you be compensated in your new career?

Each position has a pay range for the starting rate. Your starting hourly rate or salary is determined by the skills, knowledge and experience that you bring to the job.

BHC’s Total Rewards Approach

While pay and benefits are important, we also know that learning and career development are just as important. BHC wants to help employees balance their personal and professional responsibilities. We therefore provide the following incentives and benefits.

Bonus Incentive Program

Monthly monitoring programs based on achievement of key performance indicators are in place. Key performance indicators include such statistical measures as sales, in-house rejects, customer returns, efficiency, lost time, on time shipping or project specific targets. When targets are met, a bonus is paid out either monthly for hourly employees and quarterly for salary employees.

Health & Dental Plan

You will be eligible for the Health and Dental plan after 3-months of employment. The Health and Dental plan includes a Life Insurance policy, Prescription drugs, Vision care, Dental, and Healthcare coverage. Further details are available in the Benefit Program Booklet.

RRSP Plan

After one year of service employees participate in a self directed RRSP Plan. BHC will match your contribution, up to 3.5% of your yearly income.

Education Reimbursement

BHC is committed to providing the highest quality of service to all our customers, and as such the training of employees is critical. While on-the-job training will continue to be our main focus, external training for specific skills may be required from time to time. Any additional courses you take would enhance your own career plans, and the company’s ability to provide a better quality product. After passing your 3-month probation with BHC, you’re eligible to participate in BHC’s education reimbursement program. Upon successful completion of a pre-approved course this program will re-imburse you for eligible expenses – tuition, books etc – for a pre-approved recognized educational course relating to your position.

First Aid/CPR Training

BHC provides a safe and healthy work environment for all of its employees in accordance with the standards and regulations established by the Occupational Health and Safety Act. BHC's commitment to a safe work environment includes reimbursement for fees relating to First Aid and CPR training. You will be eligible for this program from the day you start with BHC. An informed worker is a safe worker.

Staff BBQ Day/Pizza Days

At BHC, we recognize the value of teamwork, open communication and strong leadership. BHC promotes team building by having a staff BBQ/Pizza day quarterly. These regular company meetings keep the lines of communication open, and help to foster a pleasant work environment.

Reviews

You will receive an informal review after 2-weeks. More formal reviews will occur after 6-weeks and 3-months. Performance reviews will then be conducted annually, at BHC’s fiscal year end.
